Challenges
As WELL Health rapidly expanded through acquisitions, each new business introduced additional data, systems, and security risk. Operating across 18,000 datastores and 26 billion records spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, and Microsoft 365, the security team lacked a scalable way to identify sensitive PHI and PII, understand data exposure, and assess the security posture of newly acquired organizations.
Solution
WELL Health deployed Cyera to automatically discover, classify, and assess sensitive data across its entire multi-cloud environment. Within weeks, the team gained comprehensive visibility into data risk, prioritized the most critical exposures, and integrated findings directly into Jira and Freshservice workflows to streamline remediation efforts across the organization.
Results
With Cyera, WELL Health transformed data security into a business enabler for growth and acquisitions. The team achieved immediate visibility into newly acquired environments, reduced operational complexity across business units, and focused remediation efforts on the highest-priority risks. Key outcomes included:
- 26 Billion Records Analyzed: Visibility across a massive multi-cloud environment.
- 18,000 Datastores Prioritized: Filtered and ranked risk by data sensitivity and exposure.
- Faster M&A Readiness: Immediate insight into the data security posture of acquired organizations.
- Operational Efficiency: Centralized visibility reduced the need for separate security tools across subsidiaries.
- Actionable Risk Reduction: Automated workflows enabled ongoing remediation of the organization's top security risks.
